Memory

November 14, 2008 by ashraf ghazali

Something funny about memory I learnt from Dr Umeed.memory which is popularly divided into two which are short term storage and also long term storage.How we develop the memory?the process goes somehow like this:
first introduction is when the information is registered to our brain,which later stored as short term storage.through encoding and repetition,the short term will then be stored as long term memory.this is also achieved through rehearsal of that particular information whether through behavioral as in practice,or even through recalling it in your mind.long term memory can be further sub-classified into skill and another one which I can’t recall.haih.short term memory I guess.

The funny fact that I learnt today is about a life being who has the shortest memory storage ever.whom I thought to be myself,turned out to something else.that being is a SHEEP.yah.a sheep.it has the shortest memory,that last only a few hours.according to him,to explain why every morning all sheep are seen to be restless.it is because they have been in the dark (night) for quite sometime (though only a few hours),they forgot that there is sunrise that will come afterwards.haha.

However,according to another idea from my friend,the shortest memory in a living thing is 3 seconds.which goes to a goldfish.freaking weird facts.I've never had a goldfish as a pet before or seen how they behave,so its better for me to not elaborate more on.sheep and goldfish.haha.i wonder is that why sheep doesn't mind too much when their fur are being shaved.because on the very next morning,the sheep already forgot that it was once a furry animal.haha.pity on all of them collectively.


So i guess its better for us to start using our brain to its full capacity,as in to understand, memorize and correlate everything that we've learnt though its not easy.After all,mind power and the ability to make choices that distinguish us from the rest beings.Thus we should act accordingly.roar!
